Zusammenfassung:Systems and methods are provided herein for determining a tire characteristic of an electric vehicle's tires and notifying a user of the tire characteristic. This may be accomplished by an electric vehicle charging station (EVCS) receiving an image of an electric vehicle in response to detecting the electric vehicle. The EVCS can use the received image to determine a tire characteristic (e.g., tire tread depth) of one or more tires of the electric vehicle. The EVCS can then notify the user of the electric vehicle. For example, the EVCS may display a notification on a display of the EVCS. The EVCS may also recommend one or more locations where a user can take the electric vehicle to have the one or more tires serviced.
